2nd Ref Clinic and T-Shirts

2nd Ref Clinic

Thanks to those of you who attended the Ref Clinic on Wednesday. It was probably our best turnout in league history. 9 teams met or exceeded the goal of providing 4 refs, so a special thanks to the following teams:
A-Team, Ball Hogz, Derelict These Balls, Just For Kicks, Logans Heroes, NCAA Appeals Committee, Team 16, Team Chuck Norris, The Pink Team, Unbridled Arrogance

If your team is not listed above, however, we still need you to provide a total of 4 refs. Thus, we’re holding a 2nd Ref Clinic on Wednesday, April 18th at 6:30pm. Once again, it will take place in the small grass area between the playground and swing sets, at Walter Pierce Park. (Fortunately, none of the teams that still need to provide more refs are playing at this time.

This season, captains are responsible for designating team members (players who attended one of the two ref clinics) to ref the game in the opposite time slot each week. If your team fails to provide a ref, your team forfeits its game. It’s that simple.

Make sure to give your players advanced notice of when they will ref. If a situation arises in which none of your designated refs can ref the opposite game, contact Mike Carlton as soon as possible, and we will try to sort something out to avoid your forfeit.

As for Week One, especially Monday teams that did not provide enough refs, you are still required to provide a ref for the game in the opposite time slot. We will pair him or her up with a ref that attended the Ref Clinic.

If you have any questions about the rules, providing/ scheduling refs, how many refs your team still needs to provide, etc., please shoot me an e-mail.

T-Shirts

Unfortunately, we might not have our T-shirts on Monday, and it’s possible they won’t arrive in time for Wednesday, so for Week One if you’re the Home Team, please ask your team to wear white or light colored tees, and if you’re the Away Team, please wear dark colored tees. (Home v. Away designations are posted on the web site.) We apologize for the inconvenience.

Have a great weekend!
